Bob Thomas has sent in an e-mail relating to this collection which may explain the confusion regarding the name of the issuing magazine:
About http://cartophilic-info-exch.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/football-sports-favourite-sports-fun_23.html.
Trevor says that the last 2 sheets were issued by Football Special & Sporting Pictorial. 
This could be because Sports Fun folded about this time; both the magazines were Amalgamated Press issues.
See http://www.philsp.com/data/data174.html.
I see that JF Sporting Collectibles has listed the stamps under the Sports Fun banner in its auctions.

Trevor Cotterell has kindly sent in details of the rest of the 14 sheets...
Good evening Alan,
I have some of these sheets which I will list in a moment, with regards to the title I had these marked as the following:- A set of 144 brown stamps issued in 12 sheets of 12 stamps and titled 'Happy Snaps of Famous Sportsmen' issued by 'Sports Fun' magazine, of which an album was supplied for these. The other two sheets were issued with 'Football Special & Sporting Pictorial'. Could this magazine have been a sister for the other one?
When I look at these sheets some of them have a nice defined border to them, however some are cut right on the dots. It would not surprise me if these were originally in doubles as they would still have fit in the comic/ magazine.
Of the sheets you have listed I have sheets 1,2,4,5 and 7. At least there is confirmation that 168 exist.
The details of the first 7 sheets where were listed previously, are repeated below. Trevor's sheets follow on, numbered from 8 to 14. I think it's best to assume that these sheets are numbered for reference only, until we can confirm in what order they were issued. The names are listed in the order they appear on the sheets, reading from the top, left to right.

168 'stamps'

Is there anyone with some real knowledge regarding this collection? It is widely recorded that there are 144 'stamps' in the set, but I've got 168 in this list. There was a sheet illustrated in a trade card Index that showed one sheet with a large tab at the top stating that it came with Boy's Magazine. I've researched that magazine thoroughly and could not find any reference to these anywhere in relation to that magazine. I think the sheets listed below are in the order in which they were issued, but I might be wrong. Unfortunately, the illustrations are all photocopies, rather than proper scans.

Football & Sports Favourite

I'm not the only one with a passion for these magazines. Roger Pashby has sent in these two covers:

Here's a couple for you, Alan. Interestingly, the group one is very much re-touched; I have the original picture and all players are in training gear of jumpers, not striped shirts.

Not really any sort of card, but I do love the covers of this magazine. If you've got any send in scans and I'll show them off here. I'd be interested in purchasing any Football & Sports Favourite magazine with Cardiff City players on the cover (we were a big club in the 1920s!!).
